Betsy DeVos is among the most celebrated individuals in the United States’ education sector. She has been pushing for reforms in the industry for more than three decades, and her efforts have benefited many children. Betsy has been serving as the U.S secretary of education since February 2017. She uses her position to ensure that all children across the country have a decent education. Before joining the Trump administration’s cabinet, she donated millions of dollars towards the transformation of the sector. Mrs. DeVos is a co-founder and chair of the Dick and Betsy DeVos Family Foundation. The organization was established to facilitate activities such as Christian missions, education, politics, and medical research. Betsy started engaging herself in politics when she was attending the Calvin College in the 1970s. She has always been as Republican Party supporter and has served as a party official for many years.

Mrs. DeVos realized that there was a need to change the U.S education system when she was serving the Potter’s House Christian School. The learning institution has been assisting individuals from disadvantaged families to access a decent education. Betsy gives donations to support its activities. She believes that all parents should have the upper hand making decisions on their children’s education. With help from different organizations, Mrs. DeVos has enabled many students to join learning institutions of their choice. The remarkable reputation that Betsy has built allowed her to be offered a position at the American Education Reform Council. She also made significant contributions to Children First America, which is recognized for its role in education reforms. Mrs. DeVos started the Great Lakes Education Project, which has supported changes in 17 states. Over 250,000 children have had an opportunity to attend 33 private-choice institutions that are funded by the government. She has also enabled more than 50,000 children to get bursaries and scholarship from Florida State’s tax credit.

Betsy’s campaign has been offering various alternatives that can enable children to have a better education. They include school vouchers, tax credits, magnet schools, digital learning, home schooling, and virtual schooling. According to her, all American children need to have equal opportunities to have a decent education despite where they live. The system currently allows children to enroll in schools depending on their ZIP codes, and this has denied bright children from low-income neighborhoods opportunities to attend better schools.The campaigns of Betsy DeVos have been supported by non-profit foundations such as All Children Matter, and the Alliance for School Choice. She is also the co-founder of a charter school that is known as West Michigan Aviation Academy. Mrs. DeVos also loves art and is the founder of ArtPrize, which offers a platform for talented individuals to benefit from their work.
